+Wow, I guess I was overzealous with the optimizations. Upon further
+testing, I discovered that the Numeric stuff did not work properly on
+Intel machines, but did work properly on m68k. I dropped the
+optimization to -O2 (leaving out the -fschedule-insns2), and it seems
+to behave properly on both architectures now.
+
+So,
+
+make "OPT=-O2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
+
+looks like a better choice.
+
+Sorry for the misguidance,
